b: 10 Jun 95 pc: 167 w: Dinah Manoff & Valerie Landsburg d: Dinah Manoff NOTE: I believe this episode was shown out of order, in first run syndication only.As Laverne prepares to head home, she must say goodbye to Harry and the gang.
b: 17 Jun 95 pc: _________ w: ______________ d: ______________This episode guide is still incomplete, and I would appreciate any additional information. As the station showing the syndication package in my viewing area does not always broadcast the episodes as announced, there may be some inaccuracies in matching the episode descriptions to the titles and original airdates, that have been derived from the LOCIS database at the Library of Congress. Shorter episode descriptions and guest credits are derived from on-line TV listing information rather than an actual viewing; therefore they are of somewhat dubious accuracy.
Thanks to TV6D@aol.com and Jason Bennett for filling in some of the missing information.
